The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
Smeared black ink Your face is ashen and I'm barely listening To last demands I'm staring at the asphalt wondering What's buried underneath Where I am Where I am I'll wear my badge A vinyl sticker with big block letters adherent to my chest That tells your new friends I am a visitor here I am not permanent And the only thing Keeping me dry is Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex) Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting) Where I am (I was the one worth leaving) (Why I was the one worth leaving) D.C. sleeps alone tonight D.C. sleeps alone tonight Where I am (In this gaudy apartment complex) Where I am (Explaining that I am just visiting) Where I am (I was the one worth leaving) (Why I was the one worth leaving) The district sleeps alone tonight after the bars turn out their lights And leave the autos swerving into the loneliest evening And I am finally seeing why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving Why I was the one worth leaving
